Race Overview:

Come Together. Run or Ride. Bring the Vibes.

Bring your running shoes and your bike this time.

Join us at Wayne A. Grube Memorial Park, Northampton, PA for an off-road course that mixes grass, dirt, and park trails into a true cross-country layout. It is fast, varied, and designed to work just as well on foot as it does on a bike.

Like Fifth Street Cross in the fall, the run will be two laps each week starting at 6pm, with the course direction alternating weekly to keep things fresh. The ride will be a five-lap cyclocross-style race on the same course. Racing starts at 7pm. You may need lights on week one.

Any bike. Any fitness. Anyone. One entry gets you access to run, ride, or both for just $20.

Show up for one, or double up and make a night of it.

 

Registration

Weekly on-site registration will be available. Cash, credit card, and Venmo are accepted. Juniors up to age 16 race for $10 per race.

Post-Race Chill

We will be firing up the park grills and throwing a variety of grillable items for everyone to enjoy. Adult beverages will also be provided. Complimentary beer is available to participants 21 and older.

Swag

Sign up for the full series and receive a super sick new FSX Runspringa hat.

Points and Awards

Each week everyone earns points. Some weeks include bonus points. Double points are awarded for inclement weather if it is raining, snowing, or otherwise rough at the start of the race.

As is tradition, #fifthisfirst. The runner or rider finishing in fifth place in each series, run, ride, or double cross, at the end of the final race will be crowned the overall winner. Separate podiums and scoring will be held for Overall and Women.

We will hold an after-party award ceremony after the race on April 30th. The presentation of season winners will take place there, and we will move quickly so everyone can enjoy the after-party vibes.
